General audiences really loved the old Roman Games too . . . but even they
finally came to an end.
I was talking to a guy a couple lf years ago and mentioned that I disliked
Louis impressions. This guy led a band where one of his sidemen actually did
a Louis bit on virtually every performanvce. He told me that in his band's
case it was different because it was always done with great sensitivity and
with the greatest respect.
I said "That's wonderful" and let it rest.
Cheers,
